...with Allstate!
Yup, while working out at the Sheraton Waikiki last week, Jon and I ran into Dennis Haysbert, also known as President Palmer from 24 or the Allstate Guy. "Are you in good hands?" He was really friendly and let Jon take a picture with him.
I didn't run while I was gone, but I did do a ton of walking throughout Waikiki, Honolulu and along the beach. Walking on the beach is much harder than I thought. As you know, I suffer from bad shin splints. The cure for that is RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. I normally do all of those things, except Rest. Last week was a great opportunity for me to give my legs the chance to fully recover. I've been beating them up for the past 17 weeks and it was about to time to give them a break. Well, it definitely paid off. During my group's 5 mile run on Saturday, my legs felt brand new and they currently don't hurt when I press on my shins lightly. That may change during this Wednesday's ladder workout at the track and Saturday's 8 mile run through Potrero Hill.
On another note, I am still accepting donations for the California Breast Cancer Research Program. I have already met my fundraising minimum, but I'm still shy of meeting my personal goal. If you would like to make a donation, please visit my DONATION PAGE and make your contribution. Also, check to see if your company will match your contribution. There are many companies that do.
Many thanks for your support!
